Fan Stop Central

Another conference championship is in the books. Central Connecticut State outlasted the rest of the Northeast Conference teams to capture the conference’s automatic bid to the Big Dance.

Who’s in? automatic bids are in italics

• MISSOURI VALLEY – arguably the best non-BCS basketball conference in the country (and rivaling some BCS’) saw Creighton fight off Missouri State and Southern Illinois to capture the MVC Tournament Championship and the automatic bid to the Dance
  
• BIG SOUTH – Winthrop, the prohibitive favorite to win the conference tourney, did just that and locked up its bid to the Dance
  
• SOUTHERN CONFERENCE – Davidson
  
• ATLANTIC SUN – Belmont
  
• OHIO VALLEY – Eastern Kentucky, which topped Austin Peay with a final-seconds floater to win the Ohio Valley, claims its bid
  
• COLONIAL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION – Virginia Commonwealth
  
• HORIZON LEAGUE – Wright State probably did the most bubble-bursting of any single team so far. With 17th-ranked Butler being the favorite to take the league’s automatic bid, Weber single-handedly sent a lot of teams’ hopes right to the NIT.
  
• IVY LEAGUE – Pennsylvania
  
• METRO ATLANTIC ATHLETIC CONFERENCE – Niagara
  
• MID-CONTINENT CONFERENCE – Oral Roberts
  
• SUN BELT – North Texas
